Happy Baby Fairies

I had a lovely time playing with some fairies this week :)

These two cuties are from the Mo's Digital Pencil set 6 Baby Fairies (girls). 

I thought they would love to fly amongst some rainbow clouds so after colouring them with Copics I made a special night sky for them :)

To create the cloud panel I used Distress Oxide inks and made a blend with Raspberry, Violet, Peacock and Mermaid.

I then used an MFT Cloud stencil and black Distress ink to create the clouds.

I used a star stencil from CC Designs with texture paste for the stars.

I cut a number of the Whimsy Stamps Happy die from black card and glued on top of each other and then added a white one slightly to the side. This gave the word more impact because of the height and the black outline.  The sentiment is from a Whimsy set called Bunny Balloons. 

I added glitter gel pen to the flourishes on the fairies wings and also some Wink of Stella so the wings are a little glittery although it's hard to tell in the photo unfortunately.

Life is like a balloon card

I have a card to share today using Life is like a balloon by Mo's Digital Pencil.

This is such a great stamp set, it actually includes a dog with balloons and a sentiment too. I've used the whole set before on an art journal page but this time I decided to make a card with just the girl.

I coloured her with my Copics and then I created the cloud background in a different way to what I generally do.  I used a light blue copic marker to colour a sky but did it in a "rough" swirly way, not bothering about trying to blend it smoothly or evenly.  Then I used a darker blue Distress Oxide ink with a cloud die.  Finally I drew along the top edge of the clouds with a white gel pen and smudged it a little.  I was really happy with how the sky looks :)

At the bottom of the card I blended some Pistachio Distress Oxide ink and also added it to the bottom of some grass I die cut.

Superhero Baby

I have a card to share today featuring Superhero Baby from Mo's Digital Pencil.

I needed a card for a baby boy and I wanted it to be fun and a bit different.  This stamp was so perfect and I loved colouring him and creating the background too.

The background was created using distress oxide and distress ink with the Sun Rays stencil from Whimsy Stamps and then splattering it with gesso.

The Superbaby sentiment comes with the stamp and I just typed the other part of the sentiment on the computer and cut it out.  

I wanted to have Superbaby standing on a cloud but I don't actually have a die like that so I used a cloud stencil instead.  I just sponged ink along a cloud edge and then cut it out myself.  It's amazing that I have never thought to do that before! haha :)

Life is Like a Balloon

I have made something other than a card today using some wonderful images from Mo's Digital Pencil.

I LOVE this stamp set! It's called Life is Like a Balloon and I thought it would work beautifully in my art journal.

I started off by making the background. I used some acrylic paints and a cloud stencil for the sky and some distress oxide inks for the ground with a fern stencil. I also used some black ink through a text stencil and darkened the edges of the pages with it too.

I then brushed gesso over the top to soften the look and with markers drew a border to frame everything.

I used copics to colour the images and fussy cut them out and I cut the sentiment into strips and drew a border around these also.  I left the "balloon" word out of the sentiment and instead used a die to cut this out for greater impact.  I also added some black ink splatters and some highlights with white pen.

This is a gorgeous stamp and I love the sentiment too!  I will definitely make cards with these two sometime soon.
